    Looks like a second butt hole

    I just noticed my cat Rosie licking her butt area more than usual.  On inspection I notice she has what looks like a second butt hole.  Sometime the opening is round and sometime it looks more like a slit.  There might be something white inside.  Almost like something has burrowed inside or...

    My daughter & her boyfriend moved in together and between them have 5 cats.  Three are his & original to the house.  My daughter brought her two cats in about three months ago.  At first all went well but one of the original cats has started to spray, marking his territory.  All 5 cats are...

    Counter surfers

    We have 3 kittens from the same litter.  They are 5-1/2 months old & we have an appointment for spay/neutering in two weeks.  We are trying to teach then to stay off the kitchen counters.  A sharp no & finger wag doesn't work & a spray bottle with water only stops one.  The other two hop down &...

    Cats & furniture

    In April we fostered a pregnant feral cat who gave birth to 8 kittens shortly after.  We are new to the cat world, it was quite an experience.  We got them through a bout of ringworm & are now down to 3 kittens that we plan to keep.  Needless to say 8 kittens with run of the house destroyed a...

    kittens playing in litter boxes

    I have 8 kittens recently separated from their feral mother.  4 are showing signs of ringworm & they are all being treated.  They are eating well, playing well & growing fast.  I have them in one room to make things easier until the ringworm is cleaned up.  I had 8 litter boxes around the room &...

    kitten won't eat

    I have tried the KMR & she isn't interested.  She hasn't been nursing with mother the last few days but I'm not sure if it's her idea or mothers.  I've tried pate & chunky.  I've tried adding a little water to both.  Nothing.  She likes tuna but I'm concerned about the salt content.  The same...

    kitten won't eat

    I have 8 kittens from a feral mother.  They are showing sings of ringworm, 4 of the 8.  The runt of the litter won't eat cat food.  She tries kibble but we've tried every brand of wet cat food we could find & she won't even try it.  She sniffs, paws the floor & walks away.  She will be 8 weeks...

    litter training kittens

    I would love to separate the kittens from the mother.  It would be a lot easier to train & socialize the kittens without her influence.  Three of the kittens are very skittish because of her.  I am doing this for a cat rescue & they don't want to separate them at this time.  The kittens are...

    litter training kittens

    I've tried it all.  I've brought them to the box.  I've used my fingers to dig, I've moved their paws in a digging motion.  I have dry food out for them all the time & I give them a little wet food twice a day.  I've tried to bring them to the litter box but there are 8 kittens & they don't all...

    litter training kittens

    I have been fostering a feral cat.  She came to me pregnant & a week & a half later had 8 kittens.  It has been a challenge dealing with momma & we've had our share of back sliding.  Unfortunately that's where I am now.  I have two problems. I have never been able to touch Quinte (mother)  She...

    Feral & Pregnant

    Hi, My husband & I fostered a pregnant cat from a local resuce. She came into our home six days ago around 6pm. Since then she's been living under our bed. In the beginning we slide her food to her, now I leave it just under the bed. She will not come near it if either of us are in the room...
